How does the bill change that?
No plans for there to be any differences.
We're forced to accept food related items that don't meet our standards. Eg Many years ago we had different rules to France on UHT milk. We tried to stop French UHT milk coming into the UK. The EU stopped us. It may seem a small example, but an example it still is. There may have been others I'm not aware of.
The horse meat scandal originated in the EU.
Where else in the world does the EU insist on following their rules, simply because of a shared border?
Does anything stop the EU changing their rules and it not fitting UK rules?
The current outstanding issues cover an AWFUL LOT MORE than this, eg letters and parcels.
